How do you know when the server was bootted

[isonlyme]

Hi all,

I'm new in Unix so sorry in advance for the simple questions....

I like to know how do you know or find where a server was rebooted, is there a log or something? also how do I know wich version of Unix I have?

I have an HP-UX

Thanks in advance

Not sure about HP, but in Solaris uptime will give you the time since rebooted details. Try uname -a for the version details too. HTH.

uptime is used in HP. Also, there should be a log of the boot (what processes were started) in /etc/rc.log.

I have always used:

who -b

Hi,

You can also cat the file /etc/shutdownlog file.

Hi there,

you can try the command "uptime" you will know when the system was restared. You can grab information in the syslog (/var/adm/syslog).

The easiest way I've found is to execute the following commands:

# uptime -- shows how long system has been up

# who -r -- show last reboot time


Does that help?
